Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil spray
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and cold water until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable.
  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Arrange the coated florets on the baking sheet in a single layer and lightly spray with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt butter, then combine with buffalo sauce and garlic powder over low heat.
  7. Toss baked cauliflower in the buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated before serving.
